Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation. Read the following
Bible passage, then answer the short questions. Consider
the observations at the end of the study. Passage A:
James
1:5-8* 6. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt,
because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown
and tossed by the wind. 7. That man should not think he will receive
anything from the Lord; 8. he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he
does. Passage B:
Hebrews
12:1* Questions 2. Reread verse 6. Have you settled in your mind to
approach God as being all He declares He is (the
essence of love, perfect, almighty, etc.), or is God
like a vapor to you? 3. Do you see your life and problems as bigger than
God? 4. From Hebrews 12:1, who is watching your every
move besides God? 5. In light of the fact that your life is the focus
of a heavenly fan club of people from the past rooting
for your success, what does this verse tell us to
do? Observations

5. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask
God, who gives generously to all without finding
fault, and it will be given to him.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a
great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything
that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and
let us run with perseverance the race marked out for
us.
1. Do you sometimes feel frustrated that God
does not seem to answer your questions and address
your problems?
When you engage in the sin of pornography,
the mind God gave you is being filled with erotic
images that distract your focus from the race you are
called to run. It really is not a secret when we sin,
even in private. Your heavenly fan club knows and
cares.
